This quirky museum features rooms devoted to Egypt's most sensational murders and assassinations (although strangely Sadats is overlooked). It also showcases the 40 cells in which political prisoners were detained and tortured during the 50s and 60s. Some of the displays are bizarre to say the least, but there are many (like photos of battles against colonial forces) that will stir patriotic tendencies among Egyptian visitors.

Ever wondered what kind of weapons were used back in the day, when there was no fragment of science and technology in Egypt? If no, then here's your chance to find out the weapon of choice during the days when Pharaohs used to rule. Besides that, you'll see how over the years, improvisations and modification of weapons have taken place. To sum it up, it's an exhibition of weapons used by soldiers back then through the ones used by police in the recent past.
